Patient: The left incisor is partially erupted, but the baby tooth does not fall out and the permanent tooth Jang is on the inner side of the baby tooth. It has been about 10 days. I don’t know if I should let it go or pull it out, or other treatment.
I have seen the alveolar tooth in the district hospital and had it filled, but the doctor said there is nothing to treat it. The tooth decay is too strong.
Some of them have no nerve left. The incisors that do not fall off, I don’t know whether I should let nature take its course or pull them out, or other treatment. Yang Jie, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University Stomatological Hospital Yang Jie, Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Peking University Stomatological Hospital: For the front incisors, the retained milk teeth need to be extracted as soon as possible to avoid affecting the eruption of permanent teeth. In layman’s terms, if the baby tooth is not extracted, it will occupy the position of the permanent tooth, and the permanent tooth will grow crooked naturally, only when the resistance is removed, the permanent tooth will be able to grow straight.
For teeth that are too “badly” decayed, especially the alveolar teeth, it is necessary to take an X-ray before deciding whether to keep or treat the tooth. It is recommended to see the doctor as soon as possible for early treatment.
